hey all
I've inquired before but it must have gotten lost in transmission, so...
I'm quite interested in Triple-L's BCs based on everything I've read here and on their website. Everyone seems to be in agreement that they are generally great BCs for a great price. My questions are:
1) Probably the frontrunner for me would be the Stratos, although the Taurus looks awfully appealing because it's not only touted as "heavy duty" but is also almost $30 cheaper. So what are the real differences between the two, and is one subjectively "better"?
2) The Libra is also tempting because it appears to be a clone of the Scubapro stab jacket, which has always had this kind of allure with me. However I honestly don't know what the advantages of a stab jacket design over a conventional jacket BCD are. Can anyone give their opinions, and whether the Libra should also be in the running?
As some of you already know, I do mostly quarry diving around Ohio with occasional excursions elsewhere, bith warmer and cooler. I don't do tech diving. I may try a bp/w BC sometime but I'm not in any hurry.
Whatever BC I choose would be replacing a quite worn Dacor Nautica...obviously I'm used to the standard jacket design.
